Communities Rally Together Providing Clothes For Syrian Refugees

In a special Press Release, Provincial Long Term Care Inc. (pltc) which includes The Shelburne Residence, extended heart felt thanks to all communities who contributed in collecting clothing for Syrian Refugees.

Press Release

Shelburne Residence wants to thank the community for all of their support for the clothing donations for the Syrian refugees. “It was an overwhelming success” says Christine Ozimek, CEO of PLTC parent company of Shelburne Residence. “It was such a great

community effort and so many clothes were collected and dropped off that hundreds of families will benefit from”. Shelburne Residence set up a clothing donations drop box in December and clothes were collected throughout January. Early February clothes were picked up and dropped off at Canada’s Immigration drop off distribution center – New Circles - in Toronto.

“It took two trips and two full van loads each with thousands of pounds of clothing dropped

off from all our homes, Shelburne included” say Richard Sullivan, Manager of Public Relations for PLTC.

“Staff from New Circles came out and welcomed us and helped unload each of the bags and wanted to make sure that we send their thanks back to each community”.

“Although this winter turned out much better than past winters, these clothes will still be a welcome addition to each family that receives them” says Christine Ozimek. “It was what we intended to do and help and the community pulled through for us.” PLTC has always

been supporting the communities that our homes are in and with something like this we

could not do it alone. It took a great community support to make this happen.”

Surprising How Many Canadians Do Not Know Of

The Canadian Space Agency

According to the Canadian Space Agency's Website, Canadians have been making scientific milestones since as early as 1839, stating ," In 1839, Sir Edward Sabine establishes the first magnetic observatory at the University of Toronto, to study the proposition made by Edmund Halley in 1716 that northern lights were formed according to the Earth's magnetic field. Sabine is first to determine that magnetic disturbances occur worldwide and are related to the number and strength of sunspots.

This same year, the Meteorological Service of Canada is set up, also at the University of Toronto."

Many more astounding facts can be found on this website and youth are particularly encouraged to get involved as well. This is what their Twitter page looks like: (L) below

The Canadian Astronaut Program began in 1983 when Canadians accepted an invitation to fly on the Space Shuttle.The Canadian Astronaut Program fell under the management of the National Research Council of Canada who then established Canadian Space experiments moving forward. Fast Forward to 2016 and space education can be shared across Canada via skype as students in Oakville held a skype conference on February 1 with Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Astronaut, Jeremy Hansen.

If only Sir Edward Sabine had been able to skype!
